Yes many times but you do you! Not all kids who go on airplanes go for the purpose of vacation you know. Some, like mine, have grandparents and other family overseas so travel is a necessity.

I voted yes many times but in no way do I think you are negligent!! Negligence would be not feeding your kids, or taking them to doctor appointments etc! Local getaways are perfectly acceptable too!!

Our answer would be "many times" however for sure it's far from negligent if that's not one's answer!

THIS.
OP, this is what's called a First World Problem.
It’s almost 2020, and 2 million Americans still don’t have running water, according to new report

Chiming in late over here.....
My kids fly a lot. One goes to yeshiva out of town, plus we have grandparents in different states that we visit. One of my kids has been going to visit his grandparents by himself at least once a year since he was 9 (he is 14 now) . I have never taken my kids on a "vacation" that involves flying--- that's always driving. Anytime we've flown, it's to visit grandparents or for yeshiva.
So the other day, that particular kid was saying "I can't believe I've never been on a long haul flight!" I was like, "umm, are you kidding me? Do you not understand that flying ANYWHERE is an extra?".... So, no matter what, they will often find something to complain about!
That being said, if your kids really want to experience a plane ride, that doesn't mean they are "entitled" or anything. It's an experience that they'd like to try out. I've never been to Niagara Falls, but I am always saying how I'd love to go.... Nothing wrong with that!
Is it possible is it possible to help facilitate that? Can they use their own money to help.pay for a day trip? get cheap tickets on Frontier from Trenton or Spirit from Atlantic City and let them experience it. And maybe once they have waited in line at the airport, waited in line again for boarding, stuff themselves into seats with no leg room, have their ears pop upon landing, and they have to wear a mask the whole time --- that will very likely make them lose interest in the whole endeavor! 😄😄😄
Btw, if your kids are still pester you about flying, Google "fight breaks out at detroit airport" from Fox News in Detroit. Let them see who.is traveling these days.....
